At Group Effort of Tennessee, we recognize the complexities involved in caring for individuals with special needs. Every day, we collaborate with families to identify the best care solutions for each individual. Our support services cater to adults over 18 with intellectual disabilities, severe or persistent mental illnesses, and age-related challenges. Our goal is to treat every person with respect and dignity while supporting their right to a healthy and fulfilling life.
We are a licensed contractor for the Department of Disability and Aging and have contracts with three Managed Care Organizations: Wellpoint, United Healthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, enabling us to offer services through the Choices Program and Employment and Community First (ECF).

Our Professional Caregivers Have BIG HEARTS!
Group Effort’s caring support staff meets with every family face-to-face to evaluate the needs of the elderly or disabled person and the needs of the family. We will discuss care options and goals and then create a customized care plan specifically fitting your loved one.
We take pride in our team of caregivers and we won’t hire just anyone. Every caregiver candidate must pass through a background check and complete a full training program. The most important factor in choosing our caregivers is their genuine desire to make a true and meaningful difference in the lives of our clients.
“I’ve been a Group Effort client for nearly a year. I have so much more freedom now than before and I really enjoy the food and that I get to go to church. The Group Effort caregivers are great.”
